As you mentioned, Jesus instructed us to "be you therefore perfect even as your FATHER which is in heaven is perfect," so I guess it's not impossible.

No human is perfect and we will not be perfect until we get to heaven. We are all sinners. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. We need to believe in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him to enter heaven.

There is only one who filled that billet Jesus 'The Christ' and thus to be obedient to being perfect above is to be dressed in His righteousness and not our own....

We've all sinned, but we need to repent of that sin. That is what Jesus meant when he commanded us to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect.

AND  THE  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST  SAYS 

JOHN 8:45  and becauase I tell you the truth you believe ME not  --8:46-- which of you convinceth ME of sin --and if I say the truth --WHY  DO  YOU  NOT  BELIEVE  ME--

 

                                      *******WHO IS IT THAT CAN MAKE JESUS CHRIST AND HIS FATHER INTO A LIAR/SINNER*******

 

1 CORINTHIANS 1:10 now I beseech you brethren by the name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST that you all ---SPEAK  THE  SAME  THING--- and that there be no divisions among you but that you be --PERFECTLY-- joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement 

1 PETER 4:1  forasmuch then as CHRIST hath suffered for us in the flesh arm yourselves likewise --WITH  THE  SAME  MIND--for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin 

---4:2--- that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men but to the will of GOD 

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ROMANS 10:13  for whosoever shall call upon the name of THE LORD shall be saved 

2 TIMOTHY 2:19  nevertheless the foundation of GOD standeth sure having this seal THE LORD ---knoweth them that are HIS---and let everyone that nameth the name of CHRIST depart from iniquity 

ACTS 3:26  unto you first GOD having raised up HIS SON JESUS sent HIM to bless you in turning away everyone of you from his iniquities

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

PHILIPPIANS 1:29  for unto you it is given in the behalf of CHRIST not only --TO  BELIEVE  ON  HIM-- BUT  ALSO  TO  SUFFER  FOR  HIS  SAKE --

2 PETER 3:14  wherefore beloved seeing that you look for such things be diligent that you may be found of HIM in peace ---WITHOUT  SPOT  AND  BLAMELESS---

1 JOHN 2:4  he that saith I know HIM ---AND  KEEPETH  NOT  HIS  COMMANDMENTS---IS  A  LIAR---and the truth is not in him  --2:5--but whoso keepeth HIS word in him verily is the love of GOD --PERFECTED-- hereby we know that we are in HIM 

--2:6-- he that saith he abideth in HIM ought himself so to walk even as HE walked 

 

MARK 8:35 for whosoever will save his life shall lose it but whosoever shall lose his life --FOR  MY  SAKE  AND  THE  GOSPELS-- the same shall save it 

 

WHO  IS  IT  THAT  STILL  WANTS  TO  CALL  JESUS  A  LIAR  FOR  THE  SAKE  OF  THEIR  OWN  DOCTRINE

 

LOVING THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

What is the title of the thread based on ?  Yahweh's Word or man's opposed to Him ?

 

Jesus did not often in Scripture Greatly Praise the Creator the Father in Heaven openly with His Words Recorded for us.

 

Yet ONCE HE DID:     PRAISE YOU FATHER IN HEAVEN !!!    for revealing SALVATION and everything concerning SALVATION to

 

little children....

 

AND HIDING salvation (hiding truth)   FROM the educated ones.....  (i.e. so-called 'scholarship')
